Museum of London

Explore London's history through amazing artefacts, interactive displays and reconstructions at The Museum of London!

The Museum of London sits in the heart of the City and through stunning artefacts, award winning interactive displays and atmospheric reconstructions, it brings the fascinating story of London to life. Set back from the River Thames and next door to the historically bomb-damaged Barbican, it deals with the social history of London and its development through time.

It displays a number of permanent galleries, from Roman London to the London of Today, as well as seasonal exhibitions such as the Royal Arrival and the Olympics, to London’s Lost Jewels and Sherlock Holmes. This iconic central museum holds the key to discovering the people’s London.

It’s not only the galleries and exhibitions that depict the iconic messages of the museum and London’s history but the museum curated as a type of timeline, leading you chronologically through the ages. Additionally, the colourful layered logo was designed by a leading advertising agency based in London to depict the map outline of the city as it grew at various points in history.

"My wife and I have been to London twice before but our adult children were with us this time and we decided to get the London Pass with the transportation option. It was fantastic. We visited many wonderful sites with which we were already familiar, but we also went to many places just because we had the London Pass - the Royal Mews, Wimbledon, Handel's Home, and more. These unexpected visits were so enjoyable!"Timothy from USA
